Now that you mention it, I like the term "relationship". It's being used as a means of describing how we relate to each other with respect to the economic arrangement. What we never hear in Capitalism is this relationship,because it's a shitty one. The idea of someone owning part of you for a portion of the day, taking the profit from the labor one does. Being an owner and member of the board of the place where one works is a massive improvement.
